About the Poem

I knew this guy who was very special. He had a lot of family problems and he thought that they could be solved by drugs. Drugs drove him to taking his life. I want others to read and absorb these words and realize the true danger of drugs.

An Abrupt Stop

by Brandy Bryant

You started out with promise
You started out with hope
Until all your dreams were canceled
by a substance called dope

You dropped into a depression
you could not climb out
because you were under the assumption
dope would help you out

Now your life is over
it is the procession to cry
why should someone so young have to die?
That is a question I have no right to ask
but it seems as though things change oh so fast

So my friend if you hear me
please understand
there were people who loved you
you did not comprehend

this poem really touched me because my friend who is only 16 is doing so many drugs and i have tried talking to him to get him to stop because it kills me more and more everyday! and i don't know what to do!

Amariani

I liked it, because it made a lot of sense. I relly understand it. you can count on me for not taking drugs. i mean it.

mariah

I voted because I know what it feels like to have a lose. Also i feel bad that your friend didnt notice what he was doing to his life and i bet if he had another chance to relive his life he would want to be drug-free. I liked that you were also able to share something sad with anybody.

this poem really touched my heart. my youngest brother was hooked on dope and finally got himself clean but 6 months later was killed in a car crash and the driver survived but he died.

sarah

hi, this poem has touched me because my older brother recently has been hooked on methamphetamines. i dont beleive in self mutalation, drugs seem to be the most painless way of doing it and dealing with whats happening around them. im grateful that my family and i got him out of it before it was to late. however i have lost alot of friends in the last 8 months to suicides due to drug habbits. i feel your pain :]

this poem touched me because i know a few ppl that do drugs and the reason that they got on them is because they think their problems would go away, but none of them have died even though they r getting pretty close.

This poem really hits home. My friend did the same thing. Got into dope then was depressed and then took a gun and you must know the rest. Its hard for me to even think about it. But this poem is ever so true and ever soo sad.
